[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 5768048, member: 92305"] So, in Pathfinder, if I want to attempt a disarm, I use my CMB to modify the roll and my opponent uses his CMD to defend against it. Is the CMB the same no matter what the maneuver? If so, that seems a bit bland. I mean, why even describe your maneuvers if it's the same bonus. Why not just say, "I'm attempting a maneuver" and leave it at that. 3.5E does have different rules for things, but that also means that different characters can be skilled in different areas--not just a blanket modifier to all things attempted. If that's the case, I think I like 3.5 better. If the CMB is different depending on what maneuver is attempted, then I see the appeal--it's the same mechanic used for the same type of thing (combat maneuvers) but the bonuses are different depending on what you do. Besides the CMB/CDM, what are the other rule tweaks that you like about Pathfinder? [/QUOTE]
